Life in the Bari Lane

Life in the Bari Lane is your 30-minute dose of real talk about life after bariatric surgery — the good, the hard, the weird, and the “nobody warned me about this” moments. No fluff, no “just follow the plan” nonsense — just honest conversations about what it’s like to change your body, your habits, and your whole damn life.This podcast is a space for the highs and lows of the weight loss journey. Because here’s the truth: bariatric surgery is a tool — not a magic fix. It’s still work. It’s still messy. And it’s still life — with a different GPS.Whether you’re pre-op and researching, post-op and thriving, or somewhere in the “what the hell did I just do?” stage, you’re in the right lane. This show is about building community — the kind that gets it, supports you, and doesn’t sugarcoat the process.I’m Sacha — a real-life bariatric patient navigating this wild ride — and I’m here to keep it honest, funny, and deeply human.You’ll hear:💥 Unfiltered talk about the hard days🥗 Nutrition

  DD21: Heavy Days & Sluggish Hope

  Nov 21, 202512 minS0

  DD20: Missed Mornings & Money Nerves

  Nov 20, 202521 minS0

  <p>I missed my Miracle Morning again (big womp-womp energy), my voice is still froggy, my Scentsy order is being held hostage in Chicago, and my brain is doing mental gymnastics about caregiving, finances, and job searching.</p><p>Today I talk about the emotional load of trying to take care of my mom, the frustration of wanting someone to choose better for themselves, a Dateline rabbit hole on domestic violence, why scared people stay, starting Financial Peace University with one-third of our former income, and interviewing for jobs while navigating this wild season.</p><p>Short, candid, and very “I’...

  Tech Gremlins, Single Parents & A High-Functioning Disaster

  Nov 19, 202541 minS0

  <p>Hey Bari Besties 💜</p><p>Today’s dump is a mix of tech frustration, family dynamics, and some pretty heavy reflection on justice and how we treat people.</p><p>Sacha starts with a “womp-womp” confession: she forgot her Miracle Morning for the first time this month and blames at least some of the chaos on Mercury being in retrograde. Riverside keeps eating recordings, tech is glitching, and the patience tank is low.</p><p>She also shares about her interview with Gail Showalter, a Texas storyteller with a powerful life journey and founder of Single Moms Empowered, a nonprofit...

  Healing Your Inner Eater with Jessica Setnick (Part 1)

  Nov 19, 202535 minS0

  <p>In Part 1 of this conversation, Jessica Setnick breaks down the origins of our eating patterns by tracing them back to infancy, early attachment, and the messages absorbed from caregivers. She explains how babies experience comfort, connection, and safety through feeding — and how disruptions in this process can shape emotional patterns for decades.</p><p>Jessica introduces her “influence map” exercise, showing how parents, grandparents, teachers, and even family culture leave imprints on how we feel about food and our bodies. Through stories and examples, she illustrates how eating behaviors that seem confusing or frustrating in adulthood are often logical respon...

  Belonging, Boundaries & Breaking Cycles | Daily Dump #18

  Nov 18, 202529 minS0

  <p>Hey Berry Besties 💜</p><p>Today’s dump is raw, vulnerable, and deeply human. Sacha records from the floor of her childhood bedroom—now her peaceful home office—while navigating illness, exhaustion, caregiving, and the emotional fallout of family tension.</p><p>She reflects on feeling alienated by her aunt, the echoes of past hurt from her father’s family, and how Braving the Wilderness (Brené Brown) is speaking directly to where she is right now: searching for belonging while holding firm boundaries.</p><p>This entry digs into loneliness, intergenerational patterns, empathy, and what it means to keep showing up f...
